“A problem-- we have-- a problem!” The newest at the station slid into the room, his boots making a loud squeak. The call had come to them. A fire. At a daycare. Tragic.
But then they said the location, and Reed was SURE he’d heard of that daycare before.
Arthur.
He hadn’t known his new coworkers long, but getting Arthur to talk about his family was easy. His boyfriend, Teo, and his daughter Elena-- who went to the very school they’d gotten the call about.
...Also...
He swore he’d heard Damien and Arthur tease each other about Damien being with Elena’s teacher.
Shit.
“Damien! Art! Happy Ducklings Daycare. Happy-- Ducklings--” All of his strength training hadn’t prepared him for the stamina it was taking to panic run into the room. “Fire. We need to go. Elena and James.”
